Susan Petta Park brings out families ready to settle in and enjoy the day, and Smokin Zo's backyard-cookout warmth fits right into that scene.

California does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Colton.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.
